Window mastic in Broxted, done properly
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We’re often asked to deal with mastic that’s falling out in pieces and whistling draughts around closed windows, on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and aluminium frames.
Around Broxted, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Broxted
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What window mastic looks like in Broxted
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Horham Hall (about 1.4 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Broxted has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Stansted Airport station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why deal with it now?
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. Older cottages and farmhouses around Broxted can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Don’t paint over the silicone
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a village or hamlet like Broxted, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
